Slovakia Passes Constitutional Amendment to Recognize only 2 Sexes, Sparking Human Rights Concerns

Slovakia's parliament voted on 2025-09-26 to amend the constitution, recognizing only two sexes and limiting adoption to married heterosexual couples.
Prime Minister Robert Fico's government drafted the amendment, following policies like Hungary's that critics say erode human rights and breach EU law.
The amendment requires parental consent for sexual education, guarantees equal pay, and enforces traditional family definitions while tightening adoption rules.
Amnesty International condemned the move as contradicting international law and targeting LGBTI+, children, and women's rights, while Justice Minister Susko said it "should boost traditional values."
The change sparked concerns from human rights bodies urging repeal, and suggests ongoing legal and social challenges to Slovakia's commitments to EU and international norms.
